The ‘General Data Protection Regulation’ (GDPR) came into effect on 25 May 2018 and applies to any organisation who stores or processes personal data of EU residents.
The GDPR has extended consumers right of access to their data, as well as the removal / deletion of records where they are no longer needed. There are however some legal limitations placed on us that could limit our ability to comply with your request. We store records or our obligation as a company to store financial records for 6 years from the end of the last company financial year they relate to.
